The latter responded by emptyinR u
load of shot into DeeZe's head, killing
him instantly. VIM. Oller heard the

and he shot at HolcOmb, the shot taking
effect in his breast, killing him almost

Breaking Down and Building Up.

When man breaks down in the matter Of
physical strength, the question of its recovery
depends in a great measure upon the length of
time he allows to elapse before adopting medi-
cinal means to recuperate it. A tonic, which
gives u speedy and powerful impulse to the
processes of digestion and assimilation, is the
best auxiliary he can employ, and he should
resort to it promptly. The most reliable de-
pendence of the feeble, the aged and the ner-
vous, has ever proved to be Hostetter's StOm-
ach Bitters, an invigOrant of national reputa-
ton and proven worth, commended by medi-
cal men of distinction, not only for building
up a brOken-down system, but as a remedy for
dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint, fever
and ague, and kidney trouble. While not
claimed to be panacea, it is a most useful
and comprehensive household remedy. 1t is,
moreover, eminently safe as well as effective

An ingenious improvement in the
manufacture of tin cans for preserving
food is being introduced, the plan con-
sistng simply in so forming the lid that
it is merely pressed on and the can is
Theoretically sealed. so that no inter-
nal pressure can remove the lid.
Water boiled in tin thus closed has
failed to force it of, although the steam
pressure has burst the can itself A
penny piece, however, used as lever
by being placed under a rim formed
around the top of the cover, with the
shoulder Of the can as fulcrum raises
the lid with remarkably small expcn-
diture of power. The principle in
volved in the device is that of the wedge
and lever. The neck Of the tin on
which the lid fits is formed at n very
slight angle from the vertical, and the
rim of the lid is made at correspond
ing angle, no solder being used to
form the joint. BY means of this ar
rangement, therefore. the opening of
cans is rendered a remarkably clean,

Then he began TO read from a slip OF
paper:
Whereas. John Mills, engineer Of
engine no SO, of this railway line,
erected a private telegraph; and. where
as, he. with the assistance of the tele-
graph operator Of this station Il leave
blank for her name), used the said
line without the consent of the COM
pany, and for other than railway busi-
ness.
'It is resolved that he be suspended
permanently from his position as engi-
neer, and that the said operator be re-
quested to resign"
A murmur Of disapprobation filled
the room, but the the president COM
manded silence, and the State director
went on:
resign her place.
ut is further resolved, and is hereby
ordered, that the said John Mills be
and is appointed chief engineer of the
new repair shops at Slawson."
A tremendous cheer broke from the
company, and the resolution was pass
with shout Of assent.
How il ended they never knew. 1t
seemed like a dream, and they could
not believe it true till they stood alone
in the winters night On the track be-
side the glorious "59." The few cars
the engine had brought up had been
joined to the train, and "59' had been
rolled out on the siding. With many
hand-shakings for John, and hearty
kisses for Kate. and a round of parting
cheers for the two. the train had sped
away. The iilers had dispersed, and
none fingered about the abandoned
station save the lovers. "j9" would
stay that night on the siding, and they
had walked up the track to bid it long
farewell.
For few moments they stood in the
glow of the great lamp, and then he
quietly put it out, and left the giant to
breath away its fiery life in gentle
clouds of white steam. As for the
lovers, they had no need Of its light.
